The towing bracket must comply with certain technical requirements.

Your car is intended mainly for transporting passengers and luggage. However, if suitably equipped, it can also be used to tow a trailer or caravan.

If the car is supplied with a factory-fitted towing bracket it will already have the necessary technical modifications and meet the statutory requirements.

A 13-pin socket is provided to make the electrical connection between the car and the trailer. If the trailer has a 7-pin plug you can use an adapter cable. This is available from Audi dealers.

WARNING
If a towing bracket is retrofitted, the installation should be carried out by a qualified workshop.
• In particular in high outside temperatures it is not possible to drive up long steep gradients without a suitable cooling system.
The engine would then overheat.
• Incorrect installation can result in a safety risk.
